Wonderful Stay at Smithy Cottage

Smithy Cottage is a perfect place to stay for a small family or group of friends that want to explore Scotland. It is very cozy and comfortable. The location is only a short drive from the A9 and you are able to easily go in any direction to explore. There’s a small shop next door that is great for getting a drink or small snack. The cottage is well fitted to be able to cook every day too. The garden is so green and lovely. Very quiet village. We loved our stay and the hosts Rachael and Mark are fantastic! We highly recommend and hope to be back one day!

Holiday

This is the most perfect cottage. It is very well maintained and has pretty much everything you need. The owners live very close so if we needed anything they were very helpful. Would definitely recommend it

Lovely

We had a lovely time at the cottage, visiting lots of lovely places around and about, the cottage was really nice, we had BBQs in the garden and on a night when it was a bit chilly we sat with the log burner on making it lovely and cosy...as with another review the only criticism is that the conservatory really needed a clean

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Rachael Wood

Smithy Cottage is owned and run by the Wood Family - Mark, Rachael and their son, Frederick. We only live a short distance away in the same village and are on hand to give local information and insights on visitor attractions and how to live like a local!

Why they chose this property

We spent around a year lovingly restoring Smithy Cottage to the highest standard of accommodation ready for visitors to beautiful Highland Perthshire. Everything in the cottage is new and fully restored whilst keeping the character of the original Blacksmith's Cottage. There is a large, mature garden with plenty of space for eating out of doors and relaxing to the sound of the River Ardle which runs past the garden.

What makes this property unique

Smithy Cottage is located in a peaceful rural village, yet still enjoys the amenities of a village shop, cafe and pubs. It's only 20 minutes' drive to either Pitlochry or Blairgowrie for a larger range of shops and restaurants. The cottage is also within easy distance of larger cities for day trips such as Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee.
